Need Help Installing a Car Seat?
Please note: The Duluth Fire Department is currently unable to accommodate walk-in or unscheduled car seat inspections and installations outside of our scheduled checkup events.
If you need assistance installing or checking a child safety seat, we encourage you to attend one of our free clinics.
Our goal is simple: helping families feel confident that their children are riding as safely as possible, every trip, every time.
